Hybrid Brushes from Mont Marte

    There is another type of watercolor brushes from Mont Marte in Fully Booked. I suspect it uses the same hair as the ones found on the Mont Marte Quills. First impressions suggest that this brush is a hybrid, though the handle says its round. It's a flat but has a belly a bit thicker than most flats of the same width, and the hairs are a bit longer. The edge form a rounded shape similar to a cats tongue/filbert.

     The brush's hairs feels the same as the Mont Marte Quill, So if you like that brush, you are going to like this as well. I've got the #12 and #24 which is about 8mm and 14mm wide respectively.

    Below are the marks/shape I was able to produce with the brush:

Strokes made with size 12 (top) and size 24 (bottom)

     I also did some field test using the two brushes exclusively to see how versatile they are.

Painted this exclusively using the smaller sized brush. I experimented of not using a pencil. Canson Montval  200gsm12" x 8"

  
These brushes can be a nice addition to one's creative arsenal as another multitasker in the collection.
